Tues, August 4, 2015

• investigating ways of labelling faces for CLI specification
  • looked at:
    • E
    • e
    • ev
    • B
  • none label objects with symbols (only color change, etc. and NOT faces)
  • ev provides some direction
• todo: may have to implement something like f_labelvert (in mged/overlay.c) but for face index labelling
  • OR have users specify verts for face selection (probably not preferable)
• updated design docs reflecting recent integrated patches

non-brlcad expenditures...

• spent time in phone conversation negotiating / considering a job offer

Wed, August 5, 2015

• implementing new mged cmd called labelface need for kill F
• commit #1 added placeholder for lableface mged cmd
• commit #2 traversing model to collect a list of faces to label. work in progress...

Thurs, August 6, 2015

• labelface impl
  • working to get list of faceuses from nmg model
  • working to get center coord of face polygons
    • this will allow labels to be displayed at center of faces

non-brlcad expenditures...

• spend much of the day deciding between two employment offers
• chose post-doctoral research over lecturer position

Fri, August 7, 2015

• commit #1 verified that faceuses are properly gathered in get_face_list. todo: use bu_list instead of array placeholder for faceuse list.
• todo: need to find how to calculate barycenter for face verts (there must be a utility function in brlcad)
• instead: very easy as a simple average of coords of face verts
  • where face labels will be placed using bn_vlist_3string() in rt_label_vlist_faces()
